! he highway Of duty, than to have
| lived ii recreuut to his trust aa a
public journalist. Sir, am of the
opinion that it, is better for any man
to die right than 10 live wrong.
And he who dies right always dies
10 a purpose. Wolfe did DOT live to
see the victory completed on the
plains of Abraham, but lived 20 set
the forces n motion which achieved
the victory that gave an empire to
his country; and he died on the
high places of the field. Other men
have lived and died after the same
manner. Aud now have two other
sons approaching manhood, to
whom | have taught the same les
sous of courage and duty. Ii it
should please Heaven, that they be
public journalists, | would have
them tread unfalteringly the path
of duty, and, if it should happen
that they tell for speaking the truth,
as they saw it, then sir, | would
weep again ; but again, unless /
degenerate from the traditions of
my plain, honest ancestry, / would
prefer to weep for them dead than
to blush tor them living.
| trust you can fully understand
these feelings. Ifyou cannot, then
you and | are cast in different
mOuldS, and cannot understand
each other. But, Mr.. Editor it is
of less consequence that we under
stand each other, than we do our
dnty in the present crisis. There
may be differences of opinion as to
many questions, but among civiliz-
ed people there eau be none as to
assassination. There is upon our
State an epidemic OF this revolving
crime. Rapidly it seems that this
is becoming the accepted way
among the immoral OF avenglng real
or imaginary wrongs aud of caTry-
ing out personal ends. Every pa
per and every good citizen should
speak out against such a horrible
method. You are needed on the
right side, but if you put yourself
on the other side, you must share
the detestation now almost univer-
sally felt for the man and his ,abet-
tors who struck down fellow being

day for y0nng men who take their
stand on the highland of right, and
the tragic death of one young man
who dared 10 speak the truth in the
face of wrong entrenched in place
aud power will hasten that day.
The people as never before are look

here, aud their verdict will be right,
